David,
I can restore your .vtf to mvBase and then convert selected accounts to
Universe if you wish.
Because the C option is used to create a backup that will be restored onto
an R83 (or equivalent) system, which has several limitations, the following
caveats are:
1. Items larger than approx. 32K were not saved unless they were first
separated into smaller items and saved as smaller items.
2. DC type items were either list items or binary items. Binary items
were saved as CC pointers. All others were saved as CL items.
3. Linked binary items were not saved .
So, there is no guarantee that the restored data will match up exactly with
the original data as it existed on mvBase.
What medium do you want the Universe account(s) delivered on?

it is a mvBase but the r83 was in quotes like 'r83' meaning type
(compatible)

If someone has a proggie that will import a VTF into Universe then use
it.
If not, I'll offer assistance, depending on whether this is a quick
operation or something that's going to take an hour or more. I have
all
the resources required. A VTF comes from mvBASE, not D3, though
perhaps
you're more generically referring to a D3 pseudo floppy which usually
has
a
.d3p extension. If this is a D3 account then I'll restore and then
export
whatever you want into the local file system. From there you can write
something to import whatever you need back into Universe.
